“I was just on my knees, begging them to start working in Ukraine, and promised that we would set a world record,” Fedorov said in an interview with the Associated Press.
Earlier, Fedorov said that the American company SpaceX will supply Ukraine with 10,000 Starlink satellite Internet terminals for use in the event of a large-scale power outage.
Columnist Rishi Iyengar, in an article for Foreign Policy, expressed the opinion that Ukraine's dependence on the Starlink service could pose a threat to Kyiv.
A sudden shutdown could be devastating, he said.
